Warracknabeal is a great place to visit, especially for RV travellers. Attractions in town include the Wheatland Museum, with its comprehensive collection of farm machinery and agriculture related artifacts. The Historical Centre houses a collection of items such as furniture, pictures, maps and personal items found in the homes of the pioneers of the era. Why not take a stroll along the walking tracks on either side of the Yarriambiack Creek, where the majestic gums lining the banks attract many varieties of native birds and animals. The northern section of the creek provides an area for recreational activities including water skiing, boating and swimming.
